Version:Â 4.1.2

Those users, who are willing to update their Galaxy S2 to the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean (XWLSJ) official firmware, can download it from Samsung Kies. In case of any difficulties while updating, users can try out a manual installation procedure, explained below:

Users should know that the Jelly Bean firmware in question is an official firmware by Samsung, not a custom ROM. The users donâ€™t need to use any custom recovery like ClockWorkMod to install Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean (XWLSJ) on their device.

Users should also be aware of the fact that since the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean (XWLSJ) is an official firmware build, installing it will remove the root access on the device. Users will be required to root the Galaxy S2 once again.

Step 3:Â Switch off the phone and put it on the Download Mode.To do this, press and hold theÂ Volume DownÂ andÂ HomeÂ buttons while pressing theÂ PowerÂ button until the Samsung Galaxy logo appears on the screen.

Step 6:Â If the phone is connected properly, you will see that the ID: COM section turns Yellow. If not, check whether the USB drivers are installed properly in your computer.

You can also go to Settings > Wireless & Network > USB Settings and make sure that â€œSamsung KIESâ€ option is ticked before connecting the phone to the computer.

Step 7:Â In Odin, click on PDA and select the .tar file with CODE in its name that you have got after extracting the XWLSJ Firmware Package in Step 1.

– Click on Phone and select file with MODEM in its name (Ignore this step if there is no such file)

– Click on CSC and select file with CSC in its name (Ignore this step if there is no such file)

– Click on PIT and select the .pit file. Use this file only if you get it while extracting the zip file mentioned in Step 1 or else just ignore it

Step 8:Â In the Odin, make sure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes are selected. If you are using a .pit file, ensure that re-partition checkbox is selected.

Step 9:Â Click on the Start button in Odin to begin the installation process.

Step 10:Â After the installation is complete, the device will restart on its own. Once you get the Samsung logo on the home screen, unplug the device from the computer.

Additional Tips

If you want to confirm whether the phone is successfully updated to the new firmware, go to Settings > About Phone and check the firmware version.

In case the Galaxy S2 is not updated and gets into the boot loop mode, you will have to clear the cache from the Recovery mode and perform the entire process again.

To put the phone in the Recovery mode, first switch off your device. Then press theVolume Up + Menu ButtonÂ and while holding both the buttons, turn on the device to enter in the Recovery mode. Once you are in the Recovery mode, select the option of â€œWipe Data/ Factory Reset.â€

Let us know if it worked out for you and how much you love the new Jelly Bean update.

About The Author

Been an Android nerd since the G1 days. I believe I hacked and flashed that phone into dust. Currently sport a Nexus 5 sized bulge in my pocket, which I am absolutely loving. I also host and produce The ManDroid Show every week and love talking Android to whoever wants to talk about it. So let's talk!

Outch! In Sweden we had the 4.1.2 update on the S2 about a month ago as a standard OTA, I got a msg on the phone saying there is an update, tap here to install it, it got downloaded and installed without any problems. No Odin, Kies or any connection to the computer, only thing I did was enable wifi to not use the mobie data to download the upgrade.

Hi guys I’m using galaxy S II. I have updated jelly bean to my phone in a simpler way. 1. Go to the settings in ur mobile 2. U have option software update Just click the ‘search for update’ And there you go. Your phone will automatically download and install the Android 4.1.2 jellybean Note: The update file is almost 400 MB, so its better to use wifi And keep your phone connected to charger

The subject of Samsung galaxy fix screen is a controversial issue. I find myself constantly drawn back to the subject of Samsung galaxy fix screen. Given that its influence pervades our society, it is important to remember that â€˜what goes up must come down. The juxtapositioning of Samsung galaxy fix screen with fundamental economic, social and political strategic conflict draws criticism from the aristocracy, many of whom blame the influence of television.
